hello rishab.

Eligibility:

· Minimum age Requirement: 18

· Medical Class I and Class II (Medical fitness should be in accordance to DGCA guidelines)

Steps to apply:

1. Now the very first step is to get Medical examination 2 done. Only after Medical exam 2 reports, one can apply for medical certificate 1. Just visit Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Government of India’s website and they have a long list of doctors who are certified to issue that certificate.

2. Next step is to apply to the respective flying school and clear their entrance exams to get through one of these:

Besides these few colleges which are the top ones, one can also look at the of other flying schools as listed by DGCA http://dgca.gov.in/licencing/fly...

In the above mentioned Institutes students can complete CPL. However attaining CPL allows one to fly CESSNA (small planes). In order to fly Bigger Airplanes one needs to attain TYPE RATING certificate. The full fledged course (CPL plus Type rating) can be done from Cadet Pilot Program (Indigo and Jet Airways Cadet Programs at National Flying Training Institute, Gondia).

Here is the list of Licences that one will be trained on in the flying school/you can attain them without going to a flying school:

Commercial Pilot License (CPL): This License is of utmost importance in order to become a Pilot and being eligible to fly on National and International routes. Even if a person does not attain SPL and PPL one can directly work towards attaining CPL.

In order to become a commercial pilot, individual has to attain Commercial Pilot License (CPL). The process to attain the license is explained here:
